Hi, you're right about what you said above. I have good news, she wasn't brushing me off. She was just having some medical issues and dealing with panic attacks for the first time that I'm aware of. So she could only contact me by email. She told me that she can't handle any stress now, and I understand that.

She told me that she really cares about me and it hurts her to hear the pain in my voice on the phone as she dealt with an abusive ex husband too. Her ex hit her a couple of times before she left him. I was told that stuff like this is a bad trigger for some people and not everyone wants to talk about it as it brings up bad memories.

I'm glad that she's still here for me- Thanks for your advice! Although I am an introvert, I'm definitely not a pushover and I usually let people know when they aren't treating me in a manner that is OK as nicely as I can when they are being inconsiderate.
